Did you notice, 14-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven is missing from the list. It is reported that her pay hike is still kept a secret, which we bet cannot be less than $250,000 of her child co-stars, or possibly she has negotiated for as equal as “A tier” actors. Although, we do not buy that Millie must be making as much as Oscar nominated actress Ryder from “A tier” who is on silver screen from last three decades. Not less not more, Millie Bobbi Brown mus be minting in between adults and kids range, making her own tier with $300,000.
The child actors started with $20,000 for the first and second seasons of the series, whereas Ryder was earning $100,000 and Harbour’s at $80,000. The success of previous two seasons and award nominations have leveraged the cast to renegotiate their salaries at a whopping 1,150 percent more than what they were previously making on the show.
